People be advocating for mental health awareness till their face turns blue

but as soon as mental health plays a factor in a crime case; people quickly disregards the whole mental health awareness things. Saying things like

“I have ___ and I don’t around killing people”

Well yeah because you’re not that person; therefor that argument is invalid since mental illnesses effects people in different ways; it’s not just basic text book of symptoms and behaviours; that everyone can relate to.

Im not saying that just because a person is mentally ill does notjustify what they did; However it does play a role; especially if the person was diagnosed before hand.
